>Thanks for your time!
You are welcome
>If your interval is 3s and exposure time is 13s you will only trigger when the exposure has completed.
- >Of course, and my camera has triggered all the time successfully with an exposure time way longer than interval (dark) time.
The Dark time is the time after the exposure has been taken but before the next one.
>You should set your interval to at least 13.5s and probably more like 14 or 15s. to give the camera time to save the image and
get ready for the next exposure
- > I assume you are assuming the camera is running on the "Noise Reduction" option?
No, I disabled this option in the camera. I'm taking advice from Frank Späth, a longtime photography journalist. You can also
do this by post-processing the photos with external software.
No. I am assuming you are taking a single exposure
-> I already tried "blindly" to run the ProTimer with an interval (dark) time longer than the exposure time, but no difference: the
camera doesn't react at all.
What else could you try?
Try the suggestion from Gunther above to make sure you don't have a faulty unit.
The interval is the time between the triggering of the exposures, so set an interval of 15 seconds
The exposure time is the time the shutter is open for so try your 13 seconds here.
The dark time will be the 2 seconds between the exposure finishing and the next one starting, this needs to be long enough for the camera to save the image to the Storage and be ready for the next trigger.
Have a look at the image just below the photograph Gunther has here, https://lrtimelapse.com/lrtpt/ it explains what we mean by interval etc...
Best regards
